Mary Jean Dodson, of Snohomish, Washington passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 6th, 2024 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Seattle, Washington to Douglas M and Barbara J Allan on September 26th, 1953 becoming the 2nd of 4 daughters. Mary Jean graduated from Redmond High School in 1971 and continued her education at Shoreline Community College.

Mary Jean loved the outdoors and spent many weekends with her family fishing off the Washington coast, camping with friends and enjoying their property with the grandkids at Lake Roosevelt. Family was important to her. Attending birthdays, weddings, holidays, sister weekends and other celebrations were her greatest joy. She will be remembered for her easy smile, faith in God and her big heart; always putting the needs of her family and friends before her own.
She is survived by her sisters Cathy Fallen, Jan Gerlitz and Ginny Lillie; her brother-in-law Steve Dodson and his wife Sandy; many nieces and nephews; grandchildren Rhianalyn and Robert Dodson and her great-granddaughter Annalyn Lopez.
